Overview
Many organisations emphasise the importance of innovation as a means of addressing complex problems. As part of any sort of innovation process is usually a question of scalability, but this has many components:
  • What do we evaluate to understand scaling potential?
  • What precisely are we taking to scale?
  • What are the different requirements for scaling planning?
  • What is the role of evaluation throughout the scaling process?
​This practice-based workshop provides the space for participants to learn a novel process and framework for scalability and scaling planning. You will learn about:
  • The ODEAR questions for scalability assessment
  • Conceptualising and framing different elements and pathways for scaling an innovation / intervention or program to inform scaling planning
  • Practice completing FPC-developed frameworks, including the Scaling Canvas.
This workshop bridges key components across systems thinking, design, and evaluation, and helps you understand the potential for scale from a variety of perspectives.
You are encouraged to bring a current or recent project example, or will be provided with an example project. All participants will also receive a digital workbook containing templates.

Participants can also participate in an informal knowledge sharing Q&A following the workshop.
Is this for you?
This training draws on FPC's extensive experience across design, evaluation and systems practices and applies them to the real-world question of taking an innovation to scale. 

This training requires no pre-existing knowledge of scalability or scaling processes, and minimal understanding of evaluation. It is targeted at staff that work within organisations that routinely apply for grants, or develop and implement programs / innovations with a view to scaling them. Staff at all levels - be they change makers, program managers, Executives or those involved in writing grant applications will benefit.

The knowledge and skills taught through this training are applicable across all content areas and sectors. Participants will leave equipped with the tools and capability to apply what they learned in their own context.
Your facilitators: Matt Healey
Matt Healey is a social researcher and evaluation consultant with a reputation for unique and energetic workshops and activities. Over the last eight years, he has led or significantly contributed to over 100 different projects. 

These include evaluation of a range of environmental programs, including biodiversity, energy efficiency and climate change, evaluation of financial literacy programs, evaluation of a multi-country social innovator’s challenge for the Movember Foundation and development of an evaluation framework and plan for Victoria’s Sustainability Fund.

Matt has a strong interest in the intersection of design, systems and evaluation, and the role that bringing different areas of practice together can play in supporting the scaling of effective interventions and innovations. Over the last five years, he has worked with dozens of clients to understand what works, why and the different mechanisms by which these innovations can scale further.
